My already oversaturated theorizing from ASOIAF can continue! What a fantastic show. Thanks for the tip. I also think it's a fantastic show, they really did a good job with the production, the plot and the way the characters develop slowly each episode - you get a glimpse of the life as a detective and the pro's and con's :D
It's delving way deeper than that atm. Holy shit it's so dense.
Not going to spoil anything but if you would like a show that has both a detective story filled with mystery combined with great cinematography/acting and writing, watch it.

Cheep, since your a literature kinda guy you may find mewithoutYou interesting... a lot of their stuff is kinda metaphysical poetry-ish. The sound can be rather polarizing, you may hate it lol.
Not really my kind of music/sound :[

Yeah, they really get the whole concept under your skin.

Don't know who mentioned it in this thread earlier today, but after listening to "Hellfire", decided to read synopsis of the "Hunchback of Notre Dawn" novel, and jesus is that shit dark/depressing.

To get even further offtopic, has anyone else had the chance to play Titanfall yet? I kind of want to try it with Mouse and keyboard since I'm playing on PC, but I feel like losing the use of my SCUF controller for wallrunning/parkour isn't worth the accuracy since the game is so fast paced.
Also, Carbine. Carbine is god of that game, unless you want to be cancerous and use the homing pistol of doom.

Well yeah, you'd have thought that by now people understood Disney's mostly rehashing stuff. And you can't ask Victor Hugo to be about nice flowers and smiling people.

I've actually never seen/read/know anything about "Les Mis", but after reading only synopsis of original Hunchback, kind of want to read both now (although exams).
Finally crafted Cairne, but so far every game I've thrown him out, my friend has been 4/4 with a Tinkmaster into 1/1 response

Better than playing him into a Shaman or Mage. 110% probability of poly or hex.

Personal pet peeve:
Les Miserables is a novel about war, society, suffering, revolution, and the human condition among others.
Les Mis is not a novel. Les Mis is some random song and dance event that got made into a movie in 2012, with Anne Hathaway singing about French heaven.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a better novel than Les Miserables if you really have to read one of the two, though they're both incredibly long and probably not what you're expecting if all you know is the musical/Disney.

Les Miserables is an incredibly long diatribes containing social critique of Napoleonic and post-Napoleonic France. For example, the scene where Marius is first mentioned is an entire chapter about the Battle of Waterloo and then at the end it's like "Oh btw this is Marius' dad ok?". If you're reading it solely for the story you're going to find it a slog. But as a classic from Romantic era it's very good. Same goes for Hunchback of Notre Dame, although that one is really dark but expressed the ideas of cultural evolution and the role of love very powerfully.

ok wtf is this? Starting up Dark Souls, it's making me create an XBOX Live account?

Yeah I was going to mention the Battle of Waterloo part in particular, because it's not only a social critique but a bit of a necessity with the state that the French Government was in, which is why I found the book version of Les Mis very boring. But despite Cheep being toxic, Les Mis the musical is pretty rad.

There's an online portion in the game where people go into your game and kill you. Have fun~
